  • Protection of Cultural Property Under International Humanitarian Law: Some Emerging Trends
    Protection Of Cultural Property Under International Humanitarian Law: Some Emerging Trends P. ISHWARA BHAT[*] 1. INTRODUCTION Cultures use properties as the media of expression[1] and blossom them into proud cultural property of the community. The creative human genius, in the process, flowers into arts, architecture, sculpture, monument, painting, literature and other innumerable forms of aesthetic manifestations. Transcending the geopolitical boundaries, they constitute cultural heritage of the mankind irrespective of the point whether they are products of individual talent or of group effort.[2] From the perspective of specific culture, the cultural property that it produces is an overt mark of its identity,[3] a repository of cultural and traditional informations,[4] and an essential thing for cultural group’s self understanding.[5] Being visible symbols of culture and creativity,[6] great pieces of art are irreplaceable things,[7] as they attempt to grasp eternity by their beauty and grace. It is the mankind’s sad experience that armed conflicts result in intentional or unintentional devastation of cultural property. While earlier wars witnessed deliberate destruction of enemy’s cultural property as a measure of annihilation of enemy’s power,[8] modern armed conflicts with their more destructive mechanisms inflict extensive loss to cultural property. Such destructions and their cultural function, offend inter-generation equity, and impoverish the world’s intellectual and artistic attainment. The anger that suppression of culture breeds

    FM 6-27 MCTP 11-10C THE COMMANDER'S HANDBOOK ON THE LAW OF LAND WARFARE AUGUST 2019 DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTION: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. This publication supersedes FM 27-10/MCTP 11-10C, dated 18 July 1956. HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY HEADQUARTERS, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS Foreword The lessons of protracted conflict confirm that adherence to the law of armed conflict (LOAC) by the land forces, both in intern ational and non-international armed conflict, must serve as the standard that we train to and apply across the entire range of military operations. Adhering to LOAC enhances the legitimacy of our operations and supports the moral framework of our armed forces. We have learned th at we deviate from these norms to our detriment and risk undercutting both domesti c and international support for our operations. LOAC has been and remains a vital guide for all military operations conducted by the U.S. Governm ent. This fi eld manual provides a general description of the law of land warfare for Soldiers and Marines, delineated as statements of doctrine and practice, to gui de the land forces in conducting di sci plined military operations in accordance with the rule of law. The Department of Defense Law of War Manual (June 20 15, updated December 2016) is the authoritative statement on the law of war for the Department of Defense. In the event of a conflict or discrepancy regarding the legal standards addressed in this publication and th e DOD Law of War Manual, the latter takes precedence.

  • The Destruction of Cultural Heritage: a Crime Against Property Or a Crime Against People?
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW THE DESTRUCTION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE: A CRIME AGAINST PROPERTY OR A CRIME AGAINST PEOPLE? PATTY GERSTENBLITH ABSTRACT The destruction of cultural heritage has played a prominent role in the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Iraq and in the recent conflict in Mali. This destruction has displayed the failure of international law to effectively deter these actions. This article reviews existing international law in light of this destruction and the challenges posed by the issues of non-international armed conflict, non-state actors and the military necessity exception. By examining recent developments in applicable international law, the article proposes that customary international law has evolved to interpret existing legal instruments and doctrines concerning cultural heritage in light of the principles of proportionality and distinction and a definition of intentionality that includes extreme negligence and willful disregard. As a result, international law may more effectively foster the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations.

  • The Protection of Cultural Property and Post-Conflict Kosovo
    THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY AND POST-CONFLICT KOSOVO ∗ Par Eduard Serbenco In the context of the unprecedented level of cultural destruction taking place in Kosovo since the international community took over in 1999, the author of this article seeks to provide an answer to two questions. First, whether the Serbian-built religious heritage in Kosovo deserves any international protection. Second, whether the two international authorities in place in Kosovo, UNMIK and KFOR, a NATO-led military force, are under any legal obligation to protect this religious heritage. Relying on the relevant international law provisions, the author determines that items of Serbian-built religious heritage in Kosovo qualify as cultural property of international value, thereby deserving international protection. Examining further the legal mandate received by the international administration in Kosovo, the author argues that both UNMIK and KFOR exercise public authority in this province, thus placing the Serbian religious heritage in question under their jurisdiction. As a result, the author concludes that the legal obligation to ensure the protection of cultural heritage in Kosovo, although normally assigned by international law to the territorial state, here devolves upon these two international entities. Considérant le niveau sans précédent de destruction de biens culturels au Kosovo depuis la prise de contrôle par la communauté internationale en 1999, l’auteur de cet article tente de répondre à deux questions. Premièrement, l’héritage religieux bâti serbe du Kosovo mérite-t-il une protection internationale? Deuxièmement, les deux autorités internationales en place au Kosovo, soit le MINUK et le FORK, une force militaire menée par l’OTAN, ont-elles l’obligation de protéger cet héritage culturel? Après une analyse du droit international pertinent, l’auteur soutient que les édifices religieux serbes au Kosovo peuvent être qualifiées de biens culturels possédant une valeur internationale et que, de ce fait, elles méritent d’être protégées.

  • Protecting Cultural Property in Iraq: How American Military Policy Comports with International Law
    Note Protecting Cultural Property in Iraq: How American Military Policy Comports with International Law Matthew D. Thurlow† I. INTRODUCTION As American troops entered Baghdad as a liberating force on April 9, 2003, a wave of looting engulfed the city. Iraqi looters ransacked government buildings, stores, churches, and private homes stealing anything they could carry and defacing symbols of the defunct Hussein regime. American authorities had not anticipated the magnitude or the fervor of the civil disorder. But the looting over the course of two to three days at Iraq’s National Museum, home to the world’s greatest collection of Babylonian, Sumerian, and Assyrian antiquities, stood apart from the rest of the pillaging and vandalism in Baghdad. Months before, prominent members of the international archaeological community contacted the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. State Department with concerns about the Museum.1 Nonetheless, as the threat materialized, American forces largely stood idle as a rampaging mob ravaged the collection. Initial reports noted that 170,000 objects had been taken including some of the world’s most priceless ancient treasures.2 In the following weeks, the anger of Iraqis, archaeologists, and cultural aesthetes bubbled over in a series of accusatory and condemnatory newspaper reports and editorials.3 † J.D. Candidate, Yale Law School, 2005. Many thanks to Abigail Horn, Kyhm Penfil, Nicholas Robinson, Professor Susan Scafidi, Katherine Southwick, and the many helpful people in the United States armed services. Lastly, a special thanks to George L. Thurlow (grandpa) and Robert G. Thurlow (dad) for blazing the lawyering trail. 1.

  • State Practice Following World War II, 1945-1990
    Chapter IV State Practice Following World War II, 1945-1990 A paper by George K. Walker * Comments by L. C. Green Walker 121 State Practice Following World War II, 1945-1990 I. Introduction At least ten armed conflicts at sea since W orld War II have involved targeting issues concerning enemy merchant shipping and neutral vessels that have acquired enemy character: the Korean conflict of 1950-53 and naval actions connected with the civil war in China, 1949-58; the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1948-57, 1967, 1973 and 1982; the India-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971; the Vietnam War, with principal U.S. forces involvement between 1962 and 1973; the Falklands/Malvinas War of 1982; and, most importandy, the Iran-Iraq Tanker War of 1980-88. There was no global war similar to the experiences of World Wars I and II; in all cases the arenas of attack were relatively localized. However, to some participants the conflict was total, e.g., the Tanker War as to the belligerents, Iran and Iraq; to neutral bystanders, involved to a greater or lesser degree (e.g. the United States in the Tanker War), the conflict was only a regional, second or third level affair. Although these conflicts overlapped each other in point of beginning and duration, they may be analyzed conveniendy in the sequence listed above. This chapter will also attempt to interweave other major sources of state practice - e.g., treaties,l in some cases like UNCLOS,2 not yet in force - that may have impact on this area, albeit tangentially, in the future.
